Kurban Bayram (Eid al-Adha)

116

Kurban Bayram is celebrated on the tenth day of the sacred month of Dhu al-Hijjah. Traditionally, a sacrificial animal—usually a ram—is offered. National dishes are prepared from the meat and shared with neighbors in the mahalla, most often including Uzbek plov, sweets, and baked goods.



Before the holiday, communities organize hashar—collective clean-up events. On the Day of Arafat, believers observe fasting. On the morning of Kurban Bayram, men perform ritual ablutions and attend festive prayers at the mosque. Afterward, families visit cemeteries to pray for the departed.

The holiday coincides with the completion of the annual pilgrimage to Mecca (Hajj). Pilgrims celebrate by inviting relatives and friends to share in the joy.
